Which USB port are you plugging the external enclosure into? It might
be a low-power port that can't power the disks.

Thanks, but I guess my question kind of still dangles out
there. They are SATA drives that came out of earlier iMacs. With
this external Antec it shows up on the laptops, but not on the new
iMac. I'm just wondering why. The whole reason for buying the thing
was to make transferring old files on to the new computer easier.

24" iMac = old time drive-in movie theater
Get a USB drive adapter and try connecting the bare drive to your
iMac, http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adaptv2.php. Find one
discounted at macsales.com or provantage.com. Or get a Thermaltake
or Startech USB HD dock if you have SATA drives.
P.S. Just got my new iMac 24" today. After working on an iBook for a
month I feel like I'm now in a movie theater. This thing is huge, and
very bright. I barely need to turn the lights on in the room.
However, the external case that holds those drives I mentioned
earlier in a different thread isn't showing up. I don't know why, it
shows up on my other computers. And the hard drives I've tried are
both from older iMacs. You'd think it would recognize it's elders. It
might be nice, big, bright and shinny, but show some respect.
